Chapter Twenty-Seven: Killing the King of Xiang

Opening a warehouse and releasing grain is just one thing that Zhang Xianzhong did in Xiangyang City, and at this moment Zhang Xianzhong is doing another thing.

In the splendid Xiangwang Mansion, Zhang Xianzhong sat on the throne with a big grin, as if he was the master, Luo Rucai was also next to him, the two sat side by side, there was no distinction between primary and secondary, Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons, and Luo Rucai's subordinates were separated left and right.

A middle-aged man was pushed in hard. "Plop" fell to his knees on the ground.

"King Xiang, you let me find it?" Zhang Xianzhong said.

This embarrassed middle-aged man is King Xiang, and King Xiang said tremblingly: "I've seen the Eight Kings." ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said to Luo Rucai: "Brother Luo, you have also seen it, the so-called dragon son and phoenix grandson are just like this. ”

Luo Rucai walked up to King Xiang and said, "Your Royal Highness King Xiang, you don't have long dragon horns on your head?" ”

"The small one is just a mortal fetus with the naked eye, not as good as your stars, I am willing to give the whole house of gold and silver, and I only ask the two of you to spare my life." King Xiang kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Oh, in fact, I want to let you go, but I want to borrow you something." Zhang Xianzhong said, picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine, and said: "Yang Sichang has thought of me to death several times, and I hate it deeply, but Yang Sichang is too far away, and I can't reach it, so please ask King Xiang to kill Yang Sichang on my behalf." ”

King Xiang seemed to grasp a glimmer of hope and said: "As long as you are willing to let me go, I will definitely go to the court and kill Yang Sichang." ”

King Xiang was already frightened, and he would agree to say anything at this moment. As for Zhang Xianzhong, if he really let him go, I don't know if he will honor it.

"Why bother so much, I have a way, King Xiang is willing to lend me the head of the master, Yang Sichang will not be able to get rid of the crime of losing his relatives, why worry about whether he has written to the court? I salute His Royal Highness King Xiang with a cup, and I also ask His Royal Highness King Xiang to be generous and lend me the head. Zhang Xianzhong said.

An inexplicable smell spread, it was a urine smell, and it turned out that His Royal Highness King Xiang had already been scared to pee.

Zhang Xianzhong brought the wine and said, "The king, please." ”

At this moment, where can King Xiang catch the wine brought by Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly smashed this glass of wine on the ground, and with a "snap", the wine glass was smashed to pieces. Said: "Toast without eating and eating and drinking." ”

"Someone." Zhang Xianzhong shouted.

Immediately, two soldiers came up and said, "Great King." ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Drag it down and cut it." ”

Zhang Xianzhong killed King Xiang. But this will go on.

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Although this Xiangyang is good, but in the midst of the enemy, it is not a place to stay for a long time, each team went down to prepare soldiers and horses, collected horses and mules from the whole city, repaired for three or five days, and the army set off again." ”

"Yes."

Luo Rucai's brows furrowed slightly, and he said secretly: "After this battle, the prestige of the Yellow Tiger has increased greatly, and there is a little bit of ignoring me. He also had a slow displeasure in his heart.

The order given by Zhang Xianzhong was broken down into the hands of the people below, each with its own differences, and the task of collecting medicinal herbs was handed over to Zhang Xuan.

The rebels generally don't kill Langzhong, but they don't specifically pull Langzhong into the army, after all, no one dares to offend Langzhong, maybe you will fall into the hands of a certain Langzhong in the future. However, after Zhang Xuan set up a medical battalion, the treatment of the wounded can be said to have an immediate effect.

In fact, Zhang Xuan just cleaned a lot of wounds to reduce wound infection, but just like this, many wounded soldiers have survived. Only in this way have made Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Ru realize the importance of medical insurance. Therefore, there is also this one.

This task is both difficult and easy to say.

Zhang Xianzhong's military discipline was already good at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Liukou, and the Qing army were compared in military discipline.

The military discipline of the Liukou is the best, because they only rob food, and do not kill much, even if they kill people, they only kill those who resist, but the people who resist are generally local people with heads, faces, money and culture, so they have a bad reputation. The rogues are chased by officials and soldiers, and the time for the scourge is very limited, but the officials and soldiers are different, and they spend a lot of time harming the place, and they even have to send gold and silver before leaving. As for the Qing army, people generally do not harm the locality, and they slaughter the city.

Among the rogues, the ones who can really be big, such as Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, etc., have good military discipline, of course, what they say about military discipline is good, it is not that they do not kill people, but that military discipline is implemented well, and there is no military discipline that intends to kill people. They must first ensure military discipline, and the combat effectiveness of the army without military discipline is not good, and when they enforce military discipline, they do not mind killing people, whether it is their own people or ordinary people, and most of the Ming army has no military discipline at all, and there is no military discipline left only pure violence, and they naturally do whatever they want.

However, the Qing army was disciplined and systematically killed. The efficiency is jaw-dropping.

When collecting mules and horses in the city, the action is very rough, if you give it, forget it, if you have a good heart, give a few taels of silver, if you have a bad heart, take it and don't care, there are still people who will rob it, of course, there are many killings, but not much.

Zhang Xuan didn't care about other people's affairs, and he didn't have time to take care of other people's affairs, he copied all the famous and surnamed medicine halls in the city, one hundred taels of silver for each family, whether it was enough or not, that's all, all the medicinal materials belonged to the righteous army.

By the way, there is no shortage of silver taels in the army now, and the silver left by Yang Sichang in Xiangyang alone is hundreds of thousands of taels, plus the private wealth of King Xiang and the royal family of King Xiang, there are about more than one million taels, and at least two million taels have been made in the army.

In the Ming Dynasty, sixteen taels were exchanged for one catty, so it was half a catty and eight taels. Two million taels, also weighing one or two tons, if all rely on pack horses, dozens of pack horses are needed, and the transportation capacity in the army is quite tight, the key is that it is useless to bring so much silver, because with the current situation of the righteous army, there is no place to buy things, most of them rely on robbery.

Therefore, the funds sent down are very generous, Zhang Xuan has thousands of taels in his hands, Zhang Xuan wanted to save a little, but I heard that the rest of the things must be brought by himself, Zhang Xuan thought about it and thought that he only had a horse and a small donkey, and he couldn't afford too much silver at all, and he couldn't get a new horse and mule, and he couldn't get it in Zhang Xuan's hands. I had to give up this thought, and I was quite generous when I gave money for medicinal materials, as for the owner of this medicine hall who felt generous, I didn't know, Zhang Xuan looked at them wearing gold and silver, with a sad face, and felt extremely happy.

But suddenly I saw a person, this person in a green coat and a small hat, with a patch on his body, took a hundred taels of silver, and he was a little smiling, Zhang Xuan asked, "What is the name of this gentleman?" ”

"The student's surname is Li, his name is Zhengfang, and he is the doctor sitting in the hall in the east wall of the city." The man said.

"Dongbi Hall." Zhang Xuan hasn't reacted yet, and these medicine hall bosses have already scoffed.

Zhang Xuan asked, "What's going on?" ”

"My lord, your business is at a loss, Dongbi Hall is just a small shop, there are no medicinal materials at all, and he often uses some messy home remedies to treat diseases, and all the belongings in his hall add up, and there are no ten taels of silver, unlike us who all treasure precious medicinal materials." I don't know who spoke first, but these people were coaxing.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, his eyes swept away, and suddenly no one dared to speak, Zhang Xuan asked, "But really?" ”

Li Zhengfang looked at the two big silver ingots in his hand, both of which were official silver, and he was a little reluctant, so he offered them with both hands and said: "What you said is true, my small shop is not even mine, it is just a lease, and it adds up to less than five taels of silver, so I dare not accept the adult's silver." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "All the medicine halls I invited are famous medicine halls in the city, your medicine hall is so simple, why are you being invited?" ”

Li Zhengfang suddenly raised his head, with a proud look, and said: "The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, there are dragons, although the hall is small, but with me, it is the first-class medical hall in Xiangyang Mansion." ”

"What kind of atmosphere, I thought that I hung the name of Dongbitang, and I thought that I was the authentic descendant of the Li family. The authentic heirs of the Li family in Qichun are in Qichun, you are just an unfilial descendant who was kicked out of the house, what is the right side, not even the evil side, the crooked side. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lang Zhong in the lobby sneered.
